“Get Fast” (**1/2 out of four) was a fast-paced if empty action melodrama about a well-meaning thief (James Clayton) and a troubled orphan (Alisha-Marie Ahamed) who find they have to team up to survive as they struggle to survive going up against a ruthless drug lord (Lee Adjoub) and his cunning hitman (Lou Diamond Phillips). Lots of action and flair to keep you entertained, just not much or anything in the way of story or character development. The type of film you watch and like but will leave “fast” from your memory eventually.
